Ooooh! That brings up a good point. Why does bottled beer always taste better than canned? Or is it just me?

Drat! I just got rid of my copy of "Beer for Dummies," which covered that very topic. Good book, though, a must-mention for the FAQ...

IIRC, it has to do with the fact that glass doesn't really react with anything, nor does it allow anything in/out. (Except light! Keep beer in the dark!)

Some of the British imports have "widgets" which nitrogenate the beer only after the can is opened, giving the beer a really nice "draft" texture. Its been my experience, however, most people even in Britain tend to open the can and pour before allowing the widget to work fully.
